Sec. 30A.153. FOUNDATION SCHOOL PROGRAM FUNDING
-
(a) A school district or open-enrollment charter school in which a student is enrolled is entitled to funding under Chapter 42 for the student's enrollment in an electronic course offered through the state virtual school network in the same manner that the district or school is entitled to funding for the student's enrollment in courses provided in a traditional classroom setting, provided that the student successfully completes the electronic course.
(b) The commissioner, after considering comments from school district and open-enrollment charter school representatives, shall adopt a standard agreement that governs payment of funds and other matters relating to a student's enrollment in an electronic course offered through the state virtual school network. The agreement may not require a school district or open-enrollment charter school to pay the provider the full amount until the student has successfully completed the electronic course.
(c) A school district or open-enrollment charter school shall use the standard agreement adopted under Subsection (b) unless:
(1) the district or school requests from the commissioner permission to modify the standard agreement; and
(2) the commissioner authorizes the modification.
(d) The commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to implement this section, including rules regarding attendance accounting.
